TWO MULTIPLE NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHORS TEAM UP TO EXPAND LARRY CORREIA'S MONSTER HUNTER UNIVERSE!
When Marine Private Oliver Chadwick Gardenier is killed in the Marine barrack bombing in Beirut, somebody who might be Saint Peter gives him a choice: Go to Heaven, which while nice might be a little boring, or return to Earth. The Boss has a mission for him and he's to look for a sign. He's a Marine: He'll choose the mission.
Unfortunately, the sign he's to look for is "57." Which, given the food services contract in Bethesda Hospital, creates some difficulty. Eventually, it appears that God's will is for Chad to join a group called "Monster Hunters International" and protect people from things that go bump in the night. From there, things trend downhill.
Monster Hunter Memoirs is the (mostly) true story of the life and times of one of MHI's most effective—and flamboyant—hunters. Pro-tips for up and coming hunters range from how to dress appropriately for jogging (low-profile body armor and multiple weapons) to how to develop contacts among the Japanese yakuza, to why it's not a good idea to make billy goat jokes to trolls.
Grunge harkens back to the Golden Days of Monster Hunting when Reagan was in office, Ray and Susan Shackleford were top hunters and Seattle sushi was authentic.

Great rideMy husband has been nagging me to read the MHI books. He finally got me to read Grunge because it is short. I finished it in one sitting. The mixture of action and humor was perfect. I bought the advanced reader of Sinners as soon as it was available.

Classic RingoGood stuff. Any time Ringo gets excited about something, he writes his best stuff. Looking forward to the next installment.

Ringo's first attempt in the Monster Hunter universe is well done and a fun read.

Good but shortJust finished reading after two nights of getting far too little sleep, but I don't regret a minute of it. The minus one star was because it is, as the review summary says, short, by both as Ringo and MHI series standards. I wanted more, dang it!
